DoorDash is looking to transform last-mile logistics through robotics and automation, specifically with drone delivery technology.
Requirements
- Proficiency in C/C++ and Python.
- Experience with ROS/ROS 2.
- Familiarity with sensor integration and data processing techniques.
- Experience with debugging tools and techniques for robotic systems.
- Experience with robotics, drones, and autonomous systems.
- 5+ years of industry experience in software development for robotics or autonomous systems
- A degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
Responsibilities
- Design and deploy software for advanced drone hardware, promoting autonomous flight capabilities and delivery operations.
- Work at the intersection of software, hardware, and robotics, building applications that run on a real-time capable robotics platform and interface with multiple drone sensors and actuators.
- Develop and integrate algorithms for onboard perception, sensor fusion, state estimation, and control using data from different drone sensors (e.g., IMU, GPS, camera, and lidar).
- Use ROS/ROS 2 to build modular robotic applications for autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and payload management.
- Implement communication protocols to promote seamless data exchange between the drone, ground control stations, and cloud backend systems.
- Conduct rigorous testing and debugging of on-drone software using simulations, hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) setups, and real-world flight testing.
- Collaborate with backend and infrastructure teams to provide a cohesive and integrated drone delivery ecosystem.
Other
